A quick, important note

Figures are gross, before tax, and assume both salary paths grow at the same average annual raise. Real careers include promotions, job changes, and flat years that this model does not attempt to predict.

This calculator produces estimates for educational purposes only. It is not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice, and it cannot account for everything going on in your life. Your actual results will differ.

Before acting on anything you see here, consider talking with a qualified professional who can look at your full picture. See our full disclaimer for the details.
